WHILE we quite sgree with Mr..
Hadden that the budget should have
been at least $2.45, so as to admit OF
more street paving, we are exceed
ingly glad that the public school tax
has been raised to % cents. When the
budget ives few weeks ago presented
to the public for ills consideration, we
opposed the curtailment Of the school
tax, and quoted from the reports of
President Jordan, Of the School
Board, and Mr.. Superintendent
Collier to show the pressing
need of new school buildings. There
should now be no difficulty in secur.
ing the construction of handsome
school building on the very eligible
lot corner of Third and Jefferson
streets before the close Of the year.

GEN. BUcKNER is a candidate fol
Governor of Kentucky, to succeed
Proctor Knott. Gen. Buckner has had
less experience in politics, probably,
than any man Of his age and promi-
hence in the State, but as soldier in
two wars and as private citizen and
farmer for much longer time, he
stands the equal of any man in the
State. He is a polished and accom-
plishsd gentleman and an.honest man.

MONEY MAKERS.
PRETTY GIRLS WHO MAKE
MONEY AND BONDS.
One of the Industries I'm which Wo
men are Superior TO Men-Tho
Way They Make and
Handle Millions.

'sThose are the girls who make money,
remarked gentleman as a long line Of
girls came laughing and chatting out of
the big buildings opposite The Star Of
fee. They were happy and cheerful and
as handsomely dressed and jauntily ar
rayed as If they were just making their
exit from q matinee.
A reporter ventured up to the eighth
floor Of the big building TO see the money
making process. The request made to
one of the officials of (the company was
not new one and had heretofore been
invariably refused, for this great estab-
lishment has its secret processes, which
1t keeps as safely guarded as it does the
securities of nations and corporations
which it manufactures. But on this oc-
casion the point was yielded, and, ac-
companied by one of the officers, the
round of the establishment was made.
Seated at their desks in the company's
office are the young ladies who act as
accountants and timekeepers. They are
experts at figures, and the whole business
of the department has been reduced to
such system that almost at glance
the cost of everything that enters into
the work, even to the gum on the back
of stamp, can be ascertsined.

A door to the left was opened, and
disclosed to view ten dozen girls en-
gagged in verifying numbers and count
ing perfected work. Here great skill
and quick perception are required. Sharp
eyes run with the speed of lightning
down lifelong rows of coupons and verify
the numbers, while other eyes, equally as
quick, examine each sheet and it is
passed along or tossed out as imperfect,
until the finished work reaches the
Counter" by whom it is bundled,
marked and certified with her signature.
It then goes to the great safe, where it is
receipted for, and the work is finished.
Standing in this safe, surrounded by
millions of securities, including many of
the South and Central American repub-
lies, as well as innumerable corporations
in the United States and Europe, the
process of engraving and printing was ex-
planned from the time the blank paper
left the stock room until it reached this
safe in its finished condition. The
whole business is conducted on series of
orders and receipts, and not sheet or
scrap of paper can go astray from the
time it enters the establishment until it
is ready for delivery. Indeed. when the
safes and fireproof vaults are locked at
night there isn't paper enough about the
establishment for a mouse to make q
bed.
Although European competition is
large, this country secures the better
clsss of bond and banknote work, for
in no other land has engraving in this
special line reached such perfection. To-
day the monev-makers of the United
States stand at the head of the list, its
inventive genius having solved many of
the prob ems of defeating the imitator
and the counterfeiter. Here, for instance,
is. a bond of Cuba. On the back is map
of the island, and in the net Of scroll work
the word SCUBA" is woven Q, 900 times. It
is, however, but sample of many 9TH
ers, the counterfeiting of which is abso-
lutely impossible. In the passage of one
Of these sheets of paper through the
house it has been subjected to fifty-two
countings from as many different per.
sons. Every spoiled and defective sheet
has also been accounted for.

REVIEW OF TRADE
EXCITED ADVANCE IN GRAIN,
Cause Increased Currency Circu-
lation-Wheat Speculation
Continues Despite Less
Exports.

r. @. Dun & Co in their weekly review Of
trade say:-"More than a third Of all whe' .
which will leave the farms throughout the
country during the entire year was sold in
New York city during six days Reported
sales reaching 107, 800, 900 bushels Of wheat,
% 257, 900 corn, S27S 900 barrels oil, 1,046 400
bales cotton and 46s, ,OO0 bags coffee. Wheat
advanced 8 IA cents, corn l-s, oats 1-i oil
1-Sand coffee 1-2 a cent, while cotton de-
clined a sixteenth. Hogs, pork and pork
products were excited, hogs raising 40
cents per 100 pounds and lard 20 cents Tin
jumped IA cents again and copper nearly
cent Apprehended deficiency in supplies is
the excuse for the excited advances in some
products, but the bottom fact is that more
currency Is in circulation than ever before
and Treasury deposits with banks feed the
speculative fever while removing the fear of
monetary pressure at the chief centers Of
trade.
Business is generally active for the season,
though at some points retarded by slow col
lections or recent failures. Exchanges last
week fell below those Of the same week last
year, but the great increase at most Western
and Southern cities continues. At Chicago
the relief after the hanging and funeral of
Anarchists gives new impetus; at Omaha
collections are satisfactory and trade good
At Milwaukee trade is slightly duller. At
Memphis serious damage results from the long
drought and prevalent fires, and Nashville

bank failure affects st. Louis and money con-
tinues close at Kansas City. Collections are
dull there, slow at Milwaukee, only fair at
Nashville and Atlanta
The great speculation in wheat goes on in
spite of the decline of 3,200,000 bushels in
October exports and S,SOO,OOO in September,
but the quantity remaining on hand Novem-
b r 1, after allowance for full years con-
sumption, was 100, 900 bushels, whereas
the exports for the remaining months of the
last year were 100, 76S, ,9n bushels. Corn is
excited because of the bureau reduction of
100000 in its estimate; at the same time
pork products and cattle rise. To-day's mar
kets showed sharp reaction in grain,
but whether the speculation has culmi-
mated no one can say. Cotton has
reacted but little from the great advance
caused by the bureau report, but receipts con-
tinue large beyond precedent Stocks ad-
vanced an average Of 1-2 points from the
lowest month ago, but showed some hesita-
tion on Thur sday and Friday, under large
sales from Europe and elsewhere. Iron con-
sumption continues large, and prices are well
held Coal is in great demand.
The business failures during the past seven
days number, for the United States, 2O5; for
Canada, 19-a total of 224, compared with 217
last week, and 242 for the corresponding week
of last year.

Reads Like a Fairy Tale.

Private advices show that the recently
discovered gold mine, ten miles from
Prescott, ARR, on the Hassayampa river, is
richer by far than anything ever discovered
in the world. The ore averages $1,000 per
ton, and thousands Of tons are in sight.
Two men, with common mortar, pound
ed out $500 in less than an hour. The gold
clings to the rock in the purest scales. A
man with knife can seal. off handful in a
few minutes. There is every indication of
the ledge containing fabulous wealth.

There is great intensity Of the physical
condition sometimes, and there are facts
which we cannot 60 behind. In illustra-
ton further of facts which settle the points
of prompt and permanent cure, the fol-
lowing cases are cited: In 1884 Mrs. Mary
K. Sheed suffered terribly with chronic
neuralgia. She writes from lilo Maryland
Avenue, Washington, d. G. In the first in
stance she states II suffered terribly with
neuralgia in the face; very severe attack
extending to back and shoulders; suffered
intensely. Tried st. Jacobs Oil; had parts
well rubbed at night; in the morning all
pain gone, magically." June 10, 1887, she
writes from 224 Eleventh Street, s. W., as
follows: "Four years ago sent you vol
untary certificate setting forth the fact that
had been great sufferer with neuralgia in
my face, neck and shoulders. ! obtained o
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil, and after three ap-
plications was entirely relieved from all
pain, and from that time to the present /
have never had a return. The effect was
miraculous" Again, Feb. 8, 1887, Mr.. R.
G. Troll, st. Louis, Mo-, writes: "In March,
1881, suffered terribly with neuralgia had
suffered nearly three years. Applied st.
Jacobs Oil at S15 A. NJ. at $40 took the
rag off; at 8 A. NJ. went to work. In less
than five minutes after that the pain was
gone: The one application cured me. Have
not had return Of it since" Mr.. E. W.
spangler, York, Pa, June II, 1887, writes
Years ago had neuralgia am not subject 70
it now. The cure by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil was permanent. There has been no re-
currence of the painful affliction." Chas.
w. Law, Jr., Pottstown, Pa, April 10, 1887,
writes: "Was troubled for years with neu-
ralgia in neck and head. Tried st. Jacobs
Oil had tried different kinds of remedies
without effect. One bottle of the former did the
business. No return of pain and aches" In
almost every instance the reports are the same
